Other Site Characteristics

Presenza di un mosaico ambientale vario costituito da sistemi dunosi antichi e recenti, con numerose bassure umide ed acquitrini, valli arginate e ambienti di foce. Le dune consolidate ospitano popolamenti di Pinus nigra e P. pinea con elevata presenza di elementi mediterranei che in certe aree si organizzano in cenosi forestali (Orno-Quercetum ilicis); nelle radure sono presenti discrete formazioni ad Juniperus communis e prati xerici. Le bassure interdunali sono colonizzate da cenosi igrofile (Eriantho-Schoenetum nigricantis).

4.2 Quality and importance

Sito di particolare interesse naturalistico dovuto alla molteplicità delle tipologie vegetazionali ed alla presenza di elementi floristici di indubbio valore. Interesse biogeografico, geomorfologico, ecologico, vegetazionale, faunistico; siti di nidificazioni, rifugio e passo; sede di zoocenosi e fitocenosi con caratteri esclusivi.
